Early Christmas

We've decided that small town life is more exciting than we thought. A little over a week ago, Santa came riding around our neighborhood in a fire truck! He was also handing out candy on his second time around but I had to run off to work as soon as we saw him, so we didn't get the candy. Of course Kaiden thought this was wonderful because he loves fire trucks, but PJ was the most excited. She's been really stressed since we moved, thinking that Santa wouldn't find her at her new house. She told him that she had moved when we went to talk to him at the mall, but she was still very worried. This, however, was her opportunity to SHOW Santa where she lived. Since then, it hasn't really been an issue of Santa finding her house any more!

Dinosaur Band-Aid

Poor little guy! Last Tuesday Kaiden threw one of his hissy fits while I was in the process of pulling him up. You do the math, Kaiden flopping one direction while Mommy's pulling in the other direction. Yes, we ended up with a dislocated elbow. The way he was acting, though, we thought there could possible be a break somewhere in there so we ended up spending the evening in the emergency room. 3 hours and 1 x-ray later we left with a much better little boy, a popsicle and a "dinosaur band-aid." We'll just have to be a lot more careful in the future because the doctor told us that now that it has been dislocated once, it is very likely to happen again. Yikes!

Scentsy!!!

My new favorite thing, Scentsy! I've only been to one party, but I'm hooked. I have a Scentsy warmer in my living room and one in my bedroom and each one fills the entire floor with fragrance without being overbearing. I love it! Anyway, my friend Jenny is a consultant for Scentsy and you can get more information about Scentsy on her website http://scentedgoodness.blogspot.com/

Try it. I guarantee you'll love it!

Halloween 2008

Halloween was very fun this year. I was very worried that I was going to spend all day at work and then have to rush home to get the kids ready for trick-or-treating. Luckily, however, my schedule changed the Monday before Halloween and I was able to get the day completely off. It was fun getting to spend the day with the kids. I had cute Halloween outfits for them to wear during the day. We decided to take the kids out earlier than usual for trick-or-treating this year because Eagle Mountain gets pretty dark at night. The kids had a great time and scored tons of candy. There was a house down the street serving scones and hot chocolate for the grown-ups too. Overall it was a great day!

Matthew's one!

I can hardly believe that Matthew is one already! It's been a great year. In honor of Matthew's first birthday, here are some of his favorite things:

1. Food

2. Cuddling

3. Giving Mommy big, open mouthed kisses

4. Playing rocket baby with Daddy

5. Big brother and sister

6. Riding facing forward in the car

7. Balls

8. Grinning from ear to ear

9. Getting into things he knows he's not supposed to

10. "Guck" (his favorite word.)

A minor incident

You may ask "Has it been snowing in the Morgan house?" I say, "No, I just have a two year old that finds the most random things amusing." Today Kaiden found a square of styrofoam and pulled almost the entire block apart, down to the little spheres it's made of. I had a hard time not laughing when I first saw it and how pleased he was with himself, but I must say, it was certainly not fun cleaning up!
